Posted May 5, 201411 yr Welcome to the "C" section of this project. There are nearly 700 "C" acts, meaning this thread will take 7 weeks to complete. A reminder of the notes and conventions used in creating the data: 1. The first rule is that all rules have exceptions, common sense (and my own inconsistencies) may sometimes take precedence 2. Act names - I've tried to reflect the act names as given on the charts, occasionally this is different from that shown on the label or sleeve/cover. If the chart credit is undeniably wrong (e.g. "Elizabethan Reggae") then common sense has been used. An initial "The" from artists names has almost always been dropped, a separator of "And" is usually replaced with an ampersand. 3. Personal names - I have tried to show "real" names of performers where possible, middle names are not shown unless they have some relevance to the stage name (e.g. it would not make sense to show Rihanna's real name as just Robyn Fenty). Where the name an individual goes by is a standard short form of his/her given name (e.g. if someone known as Andy is really an Andrew), I normally haven't bothered showing this. Diactritics are shown where possible, but the software used in compiling the data has difficult with some non-ASCII characters, and the ý in Mýa. I have not shown aritst names in anything other than the Latin script, so for artists whose "real" names are written in Cyrillic, Burmese or Korean for instance, I have used the transliteration as normally shown on the charts. Artists from Northern Ireland are shown thus, rather than being from either the UK or Ireland which hopefully will reduce arguments! 4. Dates of birth/death - Shown where I have found these while checking out other details. Any additional information gladly received 5. Band membership - Normally relates to their hitmaking period only. Changes in personnel before or after this are very rarely shown. Members are normally shown in alphabetical order (but with some exceptions - e.g. Crosby, Stills & Nash are treated in that order) for either the debut hit or the main part of the groups career, with changes usually noted in chronological order 6. Featured artists - This got complex! Where a combination of lead/featured artist ONLY had hit(s) together (e.g. Gotye featuring Kimbra) they are only shown as effectively one act. Where the lead artist has had other hits but the featured one isn't, the lead artist only has a separate full entry. Where either the featured artist has other credits, or both do, both have individual entries. The same (more or less) works with normal duos - for instance Simon & Garfunkel's hits are listed under both Art Garfunkel's and Paul Simon's solo careers. 6a The OCC has sometimes changed the credit shown on the chart during a chart run. In such cases I have tried to use the most inclusive credit. 7. Where a record has been in the charts as both a "normal" A-side and a Double A-Side (whether in combination with a track by the same artist or a different artist), it is shown with separate lines (e.g. "Last Christmas" by Wham!) 8. When a record has re-entered the chart with a different artist credit, I have normally amassed the two together (e.g. "Woman In Chains"). Which artist credit I have used depends on the song itself, and a note is attached showing that an alternate credit exists. 9. Remixes/Re-Recordings/Live Versions used to be charted separately and are shown as different hits, but current practice is for all versions to be collected and charted together, so for any chart runs of such tracks since the advent of the download era are normally added to the original hit version 10. Labels and catalogue numbers are completely omitted 11. EP/LP tracks are shown where known when the chart entry was credited to an EP/LP. If an EP was released on two different CD singles, it is usually the tracks of CD1 that are listed 12. Most of the "bio" information comes straight from Wikipedia (to save time), so there is the likelihood that a number of the entries contain mistakes. Please let me know of any of these, or if there's anything that you think is significant enough to be mentioned. I have tried to keep opinions out of them, and kept references to genres to a minimum as those tend to cause more disagreements than almost anything else. Honours such as knighthoods, OBE's etc. are shown. Oscars, Grammys & Brits are a work in progress and will eventually all be shown, less high profile awards (e.g. MOBOs, Mercury Prize, etc.) are unlikely to be listed unless a particular artist has achieved something extraordinary. 12a Close family relationships between hitmakers are shown where possible, and also in some cases to other famous people (e.g. it made no sense to write even a sketchy bio for Jane Wyman and not mention she was married to Ronald Reagan) 13. Cross-references ("See also....") are a work in progress, as are the marking of US number ones. Expect these to get more comprehensive as the series goes on 14. Alphabetisation - aritsts whose name is an acronym (and is pronounced as such), e.g. ABC are sorted as if the name is a series of spaced letters (i.e. A B C). All such acts are listed at the start of those with that initial. Where an acronymic (?) name is usually voiced as a word (e.g. ABBA) then it is indexed under that word. Numbers are treated as if they are spelled out, punctuation is ignored. Individuals are indexed firstly under their surname then their given name(s). For some artists, it can be difficult to determine whether a name is a given name followed by a surname, or whether the whole thing is to be treated as one name. In these cases (most of which involve seem to involve rappers), I have tried to use the sorting sequence used for that artist within Wikipedia categories. 15. Where an artist has had hits under two (or more) different names, they are merged (e.g. Hannah Montana & Miley Cyrus). With some combinations (usually European production outfits), it can sometimes be difficult to identity which pairings work under which names! 16. Nationalities - I've tried to use the nationalities where people grew up rather than the place they happened to be born. Where there is some difference of opinion I have usually come down on one side of the coin or the other. Large groups are given under the likely most-common nationality (e.g. the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra is shown as Austrian, even if a number of them may not have been). Club football teams of the modern era are usually shown as "Mostly British". Anonymous cover version acts may be shown without nationality. Where a country has changed name since the person was born, I have no hard and fast rule about which name to use but hopefully this should be clear either way. Where I know a person has changed or taken on a second citizenship I have mentioned it Index A was split between two threads - A-Akon and Alabama 3-Azzido Da Bass B - BB&Q-Bystanders .

May 5, 201411 yr I know you aren't distinguishing between different versions of the same song and different songs with the same title but it may be worth mentioning that Matt Cardle's When We Collide is the same song as Biffy Clyro's Many Of Horror.
May 5, 201411 yr Not corrections, but a bit of background info on the chart entries by John Cage and Marco Calliari - '4'33"' was picked as a Facebook campaign for the Christmas #1 in an attempt to replicate Rage Against The Machine the previous year (it even used the name 'Cage Against The Machine'). Marco Calliari's song was originally just a recording of 'Tu Vuò Fà L'Americano' (the song 'We No Speak Americano' samples) but was remixed to sound exactly like the Yolanda Be Cool track for its release and also had its title changed. These might be worth a mention in the lead in? On a different note, shouldn't A Camp be in the 'A' section? 'A' isn't used as an article here.
May 5, 201411 yr Bubbly by Colbie Caillat only peaked at 58? :o I swear it was all over the radio at the time!
May 5, 201411 yr On the Glen Campbell entry. This is what you have: 26 Sep 70 Everything A Man Coild Ever Need 32 5 wks Shouldn't that be Could?
May 5, 201411 yr I believe the Cage Against The Machine version of 4'33" was officially a different 'recording' to John Cage's original.
May 5, 201411 yr I believe the Cage Against The Machine version of 4'33" was officially a different 'recording' to John Cage's original. A Calvin Harris remix? :lol:
May 5, 201411 yr Yeah, they did make a big deal of recording '4:33', and getting some big names into the studio. They also did some remixes for the B-sides
May 12, 201411 yr Author Previous "C" data updated (with most of the comments above) and next 100 added. I've kept "A Camp" under C as that's where they appear in both the Virgin & Guinness books, and are sorted under C in the Wikipedia category listings. For this section, I've lumped all the "High School Musical" songs, whether they are credited to the Cast or one or more characters together. Not sure whether this is the best idea or not to be honest.
May 12, 201411 yr For this section, I've lumped all the "High School Musical" songs, whether they are credited to the Cast or one or more characters together. Not sure whether this is the best idea or not to be honest. It's analogous to keeping all Glee Cast entries together so I would say this is the best way to deal with them (it is how I deal with them in my spreadsheet, though I use different artist credits for the 3 different movies). Although having said that, I didn't actually realise that some of the HSM songs weren't credited to the entire cast, may have to look into that.
May 12, 201411 yr The full title of Calling Occupants... (The Carpenters) is Calling Occupants Of Interplanetary Craft (The Recognised Anthem Of World Contact Day). The 1990 Catch were not the same act as the 1997/8 Catch. Catherine Wheel should have Black Metallic EP with the songs you have listed under Delicious. The latter was not an EP. Interesting that Pearl Carr and Teddy Johnson are both still alive with a combined age of 183. Is there an older living duo to have had a chart hit? Keep up the excellent work :D
May 19, 201411 yr Author Part 15 added. Cher dominates the weeks-on-chart totals of this group with over 300, but there are some highly influential acts among this week's 100 - Ray Charles, Chubby Checker, Chic, Cheeky Girls.... OK, so maybe not the last one! Others of note of a more recent vintage include Chase & Status, Chip(munk) and the Chemical Brothers. Hopefully I have included all the amendments from last week's batch, if not please let me know. And due to this week, the "C" batch is one artist longer than it was last week thanks to the emergence of the Common Linnets. Charli XCX was an awkward one - is she a "C" or an "X", in the end I've gone with "C" as the only alphabetic data sets I have for her, Wikipedia category listings, place her in the C's. Doing this has brought back all the horrible memories that was "It's Chico Time" - can't believe he had another two Top 75 entries after that. As usual, and amendments/corrections/additions/general comments very welcome.
May 19, 201411 yr According to Wikipedia, Charlene's birth surname was D'Angelo - Oliver is a married surname. Great stuff as usual, though!
May 21, 201411 yr Chicory Tip's #1 song is "Son Of My Father", not "Son On My Father". Also, Chicago "Hard To Say I'm Sorry" should be credited as a US #1.
May 26, 201411 yr Author Next 100 added, with Petula Clark, Kelly Clarkson, Dave Clark Five, the Clash & Eric Clapton (who all amassed over 100 weeks on chart) included. Also includes Tony Christie, so "Is This The Way To Amarillo" is listed. I'm not sure the way I'm listing it is the best seeing that it was exactly the same recording in 2005 which I would normally just treat as a re-entry and accumulate weeks with the original All previous "C" parts also updated to take into account corrections above and to bring bang up to date
